Beat Selling

By Kyle Artzt

Let's talk for a moment about beat selling and how it applies to you as a beat maker. I know there is a lot of skepticism among producers who don't want to believe that there is money to be made online. Honestly this is not the truth. It's simply about finding the right advertising methods that work for you and cashing in on that market.

I think that SEO marketing is the key to success online if you have a website. I really love getting free traffic every day from the search engines without having to lift a finger. I combine that with article marketing, viral marketing and more to create some real buzz for my products (including beats).

Having said that, if you're new to selling beats online then Soundclick is the best place for you to start, bar none. That's where almost everybody starts because not only is it the #1 most popular site for producers online, but it's got a huge amount of rappers/hip hop artists on site too. That means there are actually customers coming from inside the site, unlike websites like RocBattle or MyBeatShop that are communities completely built from beat makers.

I like Soundclick the best for the following reasons:

1. Rising in the charts on Soundclick is more valuable promotion-wise than any other charts online... If you get to the top 10 on Soundclick, your site is seeing 20,000-100,000 plays PER day which translates into beat selling.

2. Soundclick provides paid promotions that are rather expensive but extremely well worth it. Also, there are many little-known advertisements on Soundclick that most people don't even like talking about... All that is covered in the eBooks I've written (link near the bottom of this article).

3. Soundclick is the perfect example of viral marketing. You can fly up in the charts completely because you've made yourself look like a legend on the charts. Believe me when I say that SC is the biggest chance for shine any producer can ask for online.

Selling beats on Soundclick is an easy task. They even have some great forums in place to help you promote. Soundclick should be your primary website and you should use websites like MySpace and Forums to bring in visitors. All you have to do is put your link in the tag of your posts and give people real, honest feedbackon their music. Do this in the Hip Hop section, give rappers your honest opinion and they'll check out your site in exchange, especially if you have your beats up for free download! Get them to download your beats, then sell to them later.
